Cool.

I guess you could try to limit it even further by taking a known-good
8GB module and pairing it with one of the "bad" ones to see whether one
of the "bad" 8GB modules is faulty or both of them are.

Or you could stop wasting time and go buy two new ones :-)

Yesterday I took the bad pair back to the shop with a screenshot
showing memtest86+ results and they accepted it for warranty.
I will get a new pair or RAMs for no extra fee.
